Play/pause HTML 5 video using JQuery
- by Barny83
I am trying to control HTML5 videos using JQuery. I have two clips in a tabbed interface, there are six tabs in total, the others just have images. I am trying to make the video clips play when their tab is clicked and then stop when any of the others are clicked.
This must be a simple thing to do but I cant seem to get it to work, the code I am using to play the video is:
$('#playMovie1').click(function(){
$('#movie1').play();
});
I have read that the video element needs to be exposed in a function to be able to control it but can't find an example. I am able to make it work using JS:
document.getElementById('movie1').play();
Any advice would be great. Thanks
